"This is not rocket science. Electronic Commerce is more about
good business sense than whiz-bang technology and that will be
the compelling factor in its introduction into businesses of all types
and sizes."

Electronic Marketing, Santa Clara University
Folks-
The Netpreneur Program has an upcoming event and I need your help.
Shortly (as in tomorrow), we will announce the Stars of E-Commerce
event, to be held on June 3 at the Mayflower Hotel. We are bringing
together 5 successful entrepreneurs, Gary Arlen is moderating, Mario
will do the wrap. Similar to past NP forums, the format will be town-hall
style. We only have 700 seats, there is no charge, this event will quickly
sell out.
Given the marketing related topic, I know that lots of you will want to
attend. I wanted to make sure you all know about this & have an
opportunity to pre-register. To register:
http://netpreneur.org/ecommerce
You can also email your registration to <ecommerce@netpreneur.org>.
Please include your name, company, email address and a brief company
description.
I have been charged with generating new audience for this b-b event. I
would like everyone in the group that registers to bring a friend to this
event. Try to bring a friend thats interested in commerce & has never
been to a Netpreneur event. I figure our group knows lots of other
advertising & marketing types that are interested in b-b commerce and
have not been to a Netpreneur event.
If everyone in the group that signs up, brings a friend new to the
Netpreneur Program, we'll have new audience that is interested in this
topic. Enclosed is an email note suitable for redistribution. This note hits
all the highlights of the event, feel free to send it on to your friends. If
your friends pass this note along to fellow employees in commerce
related companies, better yet (no harm in asking them to do so)!
But wait, theres more... Every day, leading up to this event, we
will put fresh e-commerce related content up on the Netpreneur
website. If you know of a relevant content pointer, please email me
privately (not the list) mailto:marnowitz@morino.org. Again, I figure
our group knows more about commerce related info. and where to
find it then anyone else.
Thanks for the help, see you on the 3rd. And now, the email post
about the event...
